We trust that you will be a frequent visitor to this site as we seek to update you on the work of the Belize Police Department, provide you with current information and statistics and open yet another avenue of communicationto you in our continuing quest to bridge the gap between the police and the community.The launch of this site also signifies our understanding of the importance of technological advances in today’s society and particularly in the work of the police. The Internet opens new avenues and provides easy access to a world of information which two decades ago was largely unknown and virtually uncharted. Of course the use of this technology is not limited to law enforcement alone but also open doors to the criminal element who continuously find new ways to exploit and infringe on law abiding citizens; which makes it even more imperative that we keep abreast with the growing cyber-world.
Let me also take this opportunity to encourage you to become involved in the fight against crime by becoming a part of our community policing initiatives or by starting one of your own and demonstrating that you share in the belief that it takes an entire community to stop crime.
Gerald Lincoln Westby O.B.E. Commissioner Of Police
